Productive is great because I have an overview of every segment of my company in one place. From sales, scheduling projects, communication management, employee management all the way to the reporting. We were paying multiple software apps, which was not only expensive but also confusing and time wasting. With Productive costs were cut down significantly. The support team is very responsive, always available and fast in helping us solve our issues.

It takes some time for setting up the organization and getting everybody on board, but with Productive help center and their support team that was done in a jiffy. The software is a bit robust due to its wide pallet of functionalities, so it has a bit steep learning curve.

Our overall experience with Productive has been nothing short of exceptional. This platform has empowered our video production company to work with enhanced efficiency, resulting in significant benefits across the board. From streamlined project management to improved collaboration and resource allocation, Productive has become an indispensable tool in our arsenal.

I am thrilled to share our overwhelmingly positive experience with Productive. What impressed us the most was the comprehensive set of features that greatly enhanced our video production processes. From start to finish, Productive proved to be an invaluable asset, delivering exceptional results. The end to end process management is what sets this software apart.

Honestly, it is quite challenging to find any significant flaws or shortcomings in Productive. However, if we were to highlight a minor aspect, it would be the occasional need for additional customization options in certain areas. Nonetheless, the exceptional support from the Productive team promptly addressed our concerns, and they continuously strive to improve their offering.

Productive could be a very promising product but there are bugs littered throughout the product especially in critical modules like timesheets and invoicing which makes us very hesitant to switch over to it. Their support team is slow to answer if you are in the US since they are in Europe, and they don't fix bugs quickly.

In theory, Productive has the perfect set of tools for the modern agency. Powerful project budget tools including weekly or monthly budgets for retainer clients make it easy to make sure you are utilizing 100% of budgeted time but no more. Reporting tools are in theory very flexible and easy to spit out exactly the right data you want - from team utilization to billing to profitability, task completion - you name it! Productive is also pretty easy to set up and the UI is very clean, modern, and not clunky in the least bit like many competitors.

There are SERIOUS bugs that totally defeat the purpose of using this product. All of these I've brought to their attention but they have dragged their heels on fixing. Here are some of the top bugs: #1: When you/your team logs time and goes to create an invoice from it, the date for every single time entry is off by one day as it appears on the invoice, vs. the date you actually logged that time. You can get the accurate dates with time logs from the reporting module and when you compare, you'll see every date on the invoice is incorrect and your customers will start questioning why you logged time on the weekend... #2: When you go to download a custom report made in the report module, e.g. the hours report mentioned in #1, you get a blank PDF. Try CSV format? Also blank file, with only the header row filled in, 0 rows of data. #3: Invoice formatting - if you use Productive with Quickbooks Online, when your invoice syncs over you will end up with some random HTML code as part of the descriptions e.g.

• Notes about this time entry

Frequent updates and changes to the platform. It's getting better with every update. Has great customer support and makes collaboration really smooth!

Milestones could be a little clearer, but there is nothing I dislike about Productive.io. Productive.io is better with every update.

Really great, we'll keep using it as we grow bigger.

It has everything you need - from task management (including subtasks and workflows!) to reporting and time management. The price is very reasonable, regardless of the number of users. Some project management software has affordable pricing for a small number of users, only to rip you off when your company grows.

Filters for tasks could have more options (e.g. date filter has only equal or not equal). It would be perfect to have a single overview of tasks across all projects. Currently, that is somehow possible but lacks more powerful filters.
